So that was another year over and done with – all depends whether you count solar or lunar cycles as your method for marking the passage of another year which  is nonsense as time is time irrespective of which orbit you use .  Anyway today marks the first step towards summer.  Yippee indeed – unless of course you live south of the equator and well it’s all downhill from here.

Unfortunately before we get there we have to endure a long cold lonely winter.  In the end though it will be alright.
